Unanimous support for St James's as site for new children's hospital

The CEO of the Children's Hospital Group has said locating the new national children's hospital at St James's Hospital is the best outcome for children and the decision is driven by healthcare planning needs.

Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Eilish Hardiman said there was now unanimous agreement among the children's hospitals about the decision.

"It's very clear and it's unanimous among the children's hospitals and also from the children, families and young people that we've been working with, that we move forward with this decision," she said.
